Fury Sr. is still around but supposedly the Infinity Formula that slowed his aging has worn off and he can't get more. That's an excuse to retire him in favor of Fury Jr. But if you think about how old Fury would really be, it does make sense. Steve will be 100 in five years and Fury is at least a decade older than him.

Fury Jr. is a SHIELD agent working with Phil Coulson and the Secret Avengers.

...ugh

this turns my stomach.

Cartoon industry is mostly fine, we had and have shows that are pushing the boundaries of what the american industry can do with their cartoons, such as Legend of Korra, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and many more. And the Asian cartoon industry is Basically the same as before, full of great, good and bad cartoons.

I am specifically referring to the American cartoon industry, and its business model that is actively hostile towards crossover appeal. They want 100% kids, and if they don't get that they don't care what they do get.

That was exactly the reason Loeb and DisneyXD ****canned EMH in favor of dumbed-down fare. Although the network and its lackeys claimed that Ultimate Spider-Man had higher ratings than EMH, that was only true of the 2-8 year old group. EMH's overall ratings were the highest of the network's cartoons, despite what the network and a few online shills said. They don't really want adults watching their shows. Loeb worked to dismantle everything fans liked about EMH in its second season, hoping to make the show simpler to appeal to the youngest viewers. And then, of course, he canceled it in favor of Avengers Assemble.

I was hoping that after Disney's acquisition, Marvel's animation studio would improve as a result. But mindset like this can only be counter-productive to the quality of their animated series. I'm not saying that they can ever be hoped to make a cartoon as compelling as B:TAS, but their handling of EMH shows that their ambition is as small as the demographics they're trying to target on Disney DX.

EMH would have been so awesome in a third season. They would have brought in the X-Men like they had brought in the FF, and then you woulda had all that madness, Beast on the team, AvX, oh man, it would have been awesome!

I know I'm probably the only one holding this opinion, but I loved every Avenger's voice actor except for Iron Man's. The guy had a line now and then where he sounded exactly like RDJ but most of the time, his voice came off as a whiny version of RDJ's voice to me. I got used to it eventually but I still think he was miscast. They should have got a better RDJ impersonator or someone who can do a different voice altogether IMO.

I wasn't a big fan of that guy either. or the godawful voiceover they put over the theme song/intro in season 2.
